If your relationship to the present moment is not right
nothing can ever be right in the future
because when the future comes
it’s the present moment.

~Eckhart Tolle

 

The primary cause of unhappiness
is never the situation
but your thoughts about it.

~Eckhart Tolle

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way,
on purpose,
in the present moment
non-judgmentally.
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

You can’t stop the waves,
but you can learn to surf.

“Whether we are basically healthy at the moment or have a terminal illness, none of us knows how long we have to live. Life only unfolds in moments. The healing power of mindfulness lies in living each of those moments as fully as we can, accepting it as it is as we open to what comes next—in the next moment of now.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn, Full Catastrophe Living (Revised Edition): Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness

“The best way to capture moments is to pay attention.  This is how we cultivate mindfulness.  Mindfulness means being awake.  It means knowing what you are doing”

Mindfulness Monday

I’ve decided to do something a little different.  Every Monday I’m going to try to share a mindfulness quote along with a photo, drawing or other creation of mine.  I hope you enjoy.  If you’d like to join me in posting on Mindfulness Mondays, I’ll be happy to link to your blog so others can view your Mindful Quote and feel inspired.
